[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Not sure I understand the hate.  If it matters, I live in a DC neighborhood with a good IB school.  When we bought our house, we did not have kids and it wasn't on the horizon.  But I am glad we decided not to buy in some of these other neighborhoods because now we don't have to stress about schools.

My friends who are in the lottery boat all report that they wanted to live in their particular neighborhoods because of commute, liked the diversity/urban flavor of their neighborhoods, and view the lottery as just the cost of living there.  Others have moved out of the city upon hitting school age.[/quote]

So really, if we boil it down, your post is nothing more than smug, self-congratulatory blather disguised as some sort high-minded research? Please go away now. [/quote]

This.  Bully for you OP that you can afford to live in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in DC and send your kid to great school.  We are all SOOOOOOO happy for you.  But some of us are real mortals with student loan debt and jobs that we love instead of ones that consume our souls for money.  Why the fuck do you care how we live our lives and why?  [/quote]
